Dorais-Joncas points out that the code they analysed doesn’t resemble OSX/Olyx, but revisiting the MD5s F-Secure provided for threats related to what it calls OSX/Olyx.B, it looks as if both companies are looking at much the same code and drawing different conclusions in terms of malware families. Which only makes a point we’ve made many times before: when the media try to base their conclusions on malware names by different companies, they’re on a hiding to nothing. In a time of sample glut like the 21st century, arbitrary naming tells you more about the perception and processes of individual labs than it does about the relationship between binaries.
